I’m very happy with the outcome of the surgery and believe Will is an excellent surgeon. I also think I was given excellent guidance about post-operative pain management, recovery and rehab. Suggestion to be even better: In hindsight I feel I didn’t really get much information about what would actually be done in the surgery. Will talks fast and reels off information which is of course unfamiliar to non-medically trained patients. It would be even better if printed information with more detail was provided about the procedures. I realise I could have asked more questions before the surgery but the whole consultation appointment moves quickly and it’s all over before you know it. Ideally you’d hear “In the surgery I’ll be doing x,y and z. I may need to decide about a, b and c once I’m in there and can assess 1,2 and 3. Here is some written information about the procedures I’ll be doing.” I had no idea for example that bone would be removed from metatarsal and toes. Would that have made any difference? No but I realise how I just trusted Will as the surgeon to do the best by me. I really only understood at a high level what would be done - ie, bunion removal and toe straightening.

Mr Edwards made me feel at ease. Explained all the operation. Follow up was also great. Very professional, knowledgeable and happy to explain anything requested. Highly recommended IF a surgeon is required.
